A quick trip to Glenwood Foods today but no time for anything but windshield
birding. Osprey (busy with young?) on three of the nests on 5&20 between MNWR
and Rte 89 intersection. Side trip down River Road on the way back--an Osprey
sitting in a tree not too far to the left of the nest at Mud L

Two additions to birds posted earier: an INDIGO BUNTING (spotted by Hugh
Powell) on the Wilson Trail past the Fuller Wetlands where the trail turns
right into the woods and a pair of SOLITARY SANDPIPERS under the duck box
off the Davis Memorial Bench (seen with Drew Fuller and Linda Madeo)

I walked the East Trail of Sapsucker woods late this morning. Highlight was a
CAPE MAY WARBLER in a massive group of Yellow-rumped Warblers, along with a B-T
BLUE WARBLER and a BLACKBURNIAN WARBLER. There were also quite a number of
NORTHERN WATERTHRUSHES and a GREAT CRESTED FLYCATCHER near the
It must be a good spring for Cape May warblers! We had one on our property this
morning as a new yard bird! It was at eye level in a tall Larch tree. It was
singing a song I was unfamiliar with and took me quite a while to finally see
the bird. There were many Ruby-crowned Kinglets in the tree a
I had two personal hawthorn firsts this morning - scarlet tanager and
black and white warbler. Also three solitary sandpipers, Baltimore
oriole, cedar waxwings, common yellow throat, yellow warbler, yellow
rumped warbler, redstarts, and brown headed cowbirds doing as much
watching as I.
Many warblers remain in Sapsucker Woods on Friday morning. They seem a little
less riotously abundant than yesterday, but are still impressively diverse (I
found 19 species -- same as yesterday but without Blackpoll, Blue-winged, or
Brewster's) and generously scattered throughout the sanctuary.
When I arrived at 8:00, the orchard was hopping, but I didn't come
across anything new. Interestingly, I heard no Black-throated Green
Warblers. Most of the activity was along the eastern edge today. Here
are the highlights:
Yellow-rumped Warblers--still lots of them
Northern Waterthrush

This morning there were so many warblers singing in our yard, I couldn't decide
which ones to chase first. Did have good looks at Cape May, Prairie,
Blackpoll, and Chestnut-sided. Many more heard but not confirmed by sight. So
many Yellows and C Yellowthroats fighting over territories it's cr
Trail 1 in Hammond Hill was relatively quiet this morning (at least if a
forest teeming with Ovenbirds and Common Yellowthroats can be called
quiet), but I found some really nice birds. Most impressive were the 4

Maybe, but a brief note would have alerted others that a whimbrel was moving
north and may land. It also would have given a general heads-up that there
probably are more in the area. To my knowledge, none of the three people
involved have rarely, if ever, posted anything, by themselves, to this
